So just read on RDU twitter that the 4 T1 gates will activate this year. So I guess Frontier, Allegiant, and Spirit will move over??? JetBlue? And then DL will expand??? Wonder what the future holding.. maybe RDUAA will use the breathing room to work on the first Concourse D finger pier? They haven...

What's easy to forget is that RDU is a leisure destination in its own right, at least certain times of year. Close to the Carolina coast, close to the golfing mecca that is Pinehurst, close to parts of the mountains such as Boone. If done right, Spirit could really stimulate new leisure demand to R...

Sigh. Wonder if Spirit will pull out of GSO? GSO has 3 routes, all to FL: FLL, TPA, MCO, 2-3 or 3-4 times per WEEK ........................that's a total of 7-16 flights to GSO in a week RDU will have 7, only 2 to FL: FLL, MCO + ORD, BWI, BOS, MSY, DTW...all DAILY ................that's 49 new flig...

I’m gonna guess one of the 3.... DL to AMS, adding domestic service + Lounge expansion UA new United Club + UA to FRA AS to PDX and SAN it's not going to be a lounge expansion for DL. (Unless DL moved down to the former US club space and had that all to themselves, IF (a big if) that is even a bigg...

While the OP is slightly sensational - the stock has tanked, and AA just forecasted RASM down again last week. Almost a year ago, we heard they were going to try and raise fares to combat rising fuel costs. Fuel ended up going back down, but it appears AA is still more than willing to get involved ...

Where's the club going to be located? In what part of T2? Would have to assume that it would go in the space vacated by the old US airways club before it merged into the Admirals Club. There's already Club space in an elevator dedicated to reach it. Just not currently occupied. Across from D1 and D...

As for it being a rich man's sport I somewhat disagree. It's still cheaper than Disney World. Student passes are still relatively cheap. Multi-resort season passes aren't too expensive. Skiing in Colorado and paying window prices is for rich people which is why we're skiing in Europe this February ...

Does anyone know the order for Vision 3040 to be completed? The new runway is the first and highest priority line item to be completed in the 2040 plan from what I remember. Purely guessing from here, but I believe the next priority after that is improvements made to parking by expanding the Econom...

Corrected. Not Independence air. But I don’t need understand the problem. It’s been served at least by 3 airlines.. so it’s not unheard of or a rarity. It will be okay. I would actually rather hear others predictions than start 2019 with senseless and useless argument which serves no purpose other ...

Paranoia is also a recognized personality disorder. Jet bridges are pretty safe. How many Americans have been killed or injured among the ~750 million travelers this year? Compare that to the act of driving a car to the airport - or slipping in the bath tub. Good Lord. If the fact that I choose not...

Announced internally for summer 2019, flights go on sale the 17th. Also announced : PHXRDU PHX-RDU is a resumption as well. when did US or AA ever fly PHX/RDU? I thought that was the one hub route they've never done Pretty certain the merged AA has never flown this, maybe I'm wrong though since you...

Delta could expand it's operations but don't see much in that aspect since they've already stated that Raleigh and Austin will be their largest non hub operations and I wouldn't put it past United to defend it's turf at DIA especially from one of the other two legacies. Your comment about Austin an...

I'm glad this has mostly stopped. The 15-20 minutes it took for those "who just aren't good at public speaking" to stumble through a list of connecting cities was always annoying. When you land, you have service and *plenty* of time during the taxi in and parking at the gate to log online...

Adding RAM is a bit of non-sense imo. Sure they add that West African network from Europe, the U.S. and China, but we're talking about minimal volumes, high fares and a poor hub in CMN, a combination that will struggle to compete against established airlines like AF, KL, SN. There is no loyal custo...

Some of AA's only p2p flights these days involve CUN. I was shocked to see routes like MCI-CUN added in the first place, but at this point certainly wouldn't be surprised to see something like AUS-CUN or for that matter SAN-SJD come online... AA knows not to add AUS-CUN, as that's Delta's territory...

Could be a cost saving measure more than flights, but moving labor. In 2018 and technology there's alot of jobs that don't have to be in Atlanta. They could get some nice incentives to move a few departments or found some way those positions are cheaper operating in the RDU area. It could be more t...

These photos are about a month old, but you can see that the terminal building and elevated roadway are really taking shape now. https://www.slcairport.com/assets/cmsimages/TRP/Progress-Gallery/Looking-West-Aug-8-2018.jpg hard to believe that entire enormous parking garage in lower right corner goe...

*IF* DL has plans for AUS then this won't deter them. NK & DL chase totally different demographics and I don't think they view each other as true competitors. yes and no. NK's m.o. of 1x daily or less than daily flights and few connecting opportunities makes them less than ideal for business tr...

Welp, guess that makes AUS a focus City for NK too. I’m so happy for them. Haha clever. Maybe we should make ANOTHER thread for AUS aviation developments for the NK hub or focus city idea. JK of course. What and how NK did this is impressive. They will have to build their own sky patio like Delta, ...

That's certainly a challenge to Delta's plans to make AUS a focus city. cue the responses that "No it won't." Maybe the patio in the club will be the differentiator :) None of the press releases or articles mention which terminal NK will operate from. With the F9 move to the south termina...

That's not an error. The words are arranged completely different. "The two largest" and "Two of the largest" is not a mistake you make by forgetting the word "of" I know you WANT it to be true, but that doesn't make it so. Please post the actual screenshot of the artic...

if Delta was going to make an announcement that 2 stations were going to be come the 2 biggest non hub stations in the Delta network, I'm fairly certain they'd have a press release JUST ABOUT THAT. Instead that is the summary sentence on a jump page to a news release about 100 contract ramp workers ...

[ Is this screenshot from the Delta News good enough for you guys or shall we keep going? https://66.media.tumblr.com/e613fe82bb4b0949d0d4d1cc419dc46b/tumblr_phydwfaagv1sqo7jfo1_1280.png can you post the actual text from article that the jump page refers to?

Just so everyone knows, I copied and pasted the following from news.delta.com (it's what shows when you hover your mouse.

Oh good grief. another mention of Austin by Delta and a bunch of new hyperventilating and fanboying and we have now a 3rd thread about all the goings on Delta will be bringing to AUS. Seriously, these 2 cities, RDU and AUS were "linked" only in the sense that they are 2 cities that were mo...

Has Delta officially said anything more on this? This all began because of one job posting ...which then was posted here by a user starting this new thread linked to the job posting, then said "my bad, just merge it with the regular AUS thread," and then never returned. From there it mush...

XNA probably has all of the Wal Mart and other Bentonville traffic. Berfore XNA, visitors to WM could Fly into LIR or TUL and drive...I did that many times and AA still all-commuter/regional aircraft there. YIKES Yikes? Give me an ERJ-175 over an A319 any day. yeah, yikes not a mainline AA station....

AA going 2x XNA/LAX. XNA looks to have more or less 850K enplanements for 2018. Bearing down on LIT for biggest in the State all without Southwest or even Frontier. XNA probably has all of the Wal Mart and other Bentonville traffic. Berfore XNA, visitors to WM could Fly into LIR or TUL and drive......

Sorry, but Burke is much closer. The Giant at 8970 Burke Lake Rd., near where an airport entrance would be, to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW via I-395 is 16.7 miles. 1600 PA Ave to IAD's terminal is 27 miles. I don't want to keep harping on this, but again: as the crow flies (meaning a straight line map...

RDU, BNA or even CHS would be a much better Southeast Hub. CHS too small, AA dropped both RDU & BNA. No airline can match every route by other carriers and the IAD hub is a good one and will be even better when the metro line is finished to the terminal. RDU and BNA went away for AA less becaus...

Was told by a trusted source at RDU they are aleady at their projected 2027 passenger forecast numbers. They are scrambling to move forward with vision 2040 plan sooner, much sooner, than 2040. Nothing can be built at T2 in terms of new gates until the runway is replaced and moved West (currently in...

I'm an AA fan with a particular interest in AA's LAX hub, but... Meh! Is that all 1.6 billion gets you in America these days. It looks like nothing more than an office building filled with euro-white interior. With regards to the construction timeframe, why will this take a decade to complete? Skys...

saw the video on tumblr. (you can search for the tag @austinwolfff on tumblr and the really badly lit CLOSE UP video that shows up first on the list is the video in question, shows the Delta ID, Austin's tat's, and a profile shot of the very unremarkable action.) there is ZERO chance the Delta emplo...

um why must DL have a "plan" for Charlotte? AA certainly does. the others "plan" is likely not to get slaughtered, and that's as much of a plan as they have. It's not like Delta is going to build up some big presence at AA's 2nd largest hub

We’ll probably see this when the new admin building opens attached to the under construction parking garage. The new admin building will free up space next the the clubs allowing for both the Admirals and United club to get a much needed make over and expansion. As of yet, these two won’t be compet...

The outgoing MUC and FRA from PHL saw it as a very bad AA strategy. Now Lufthansa will ship the Boeing 747-400 to PHL and increase the CLT with Airbus A350-900XWB. I already imagine that for the summer of 2020 they will launch PHL-MUC. I do not understand why AA cuts such important routes https://w...

As stated earlier in the thread, there isn’t enough demand for two carriers to FRA. LH has the advantage of using United for their club at both SAN and AUS, and connections into these airports as feeding. LH also offers significantly more connections out of FRA too. Now they just need to update the...
